Jo has joined the Block Lotto from Australia.  She’s having some problems working the site, so I’m posting her eight Oak Leaf blocks.   Welcome...

Here are my three.  I did like this block, but I am running out of month.  Please count these as donated as I haven’t gotten the borders on those Tall Stars...

I think I misread the directions (or didn’t look closely enough at the pictures) and used batik and batik-like fabrics. If they need to be true batik, then I had one (the green). If batik-effect is OK, then three. For some reason, I was having trouble with these blocks, but that’s more my state of mind than the pattern, which is lovely. I also tried to make one of the pieced ones just to get a bit more HST...

Power went out today just as I was headed to my sewing room, so I used my time to cut out 3 more leaves and marked the diagonal lines on the background squares.  Of course, after it came back on, I HAD to sew them together!  This makes 6 for me so far. Oops!  Just noticed the flipped corner on the green block – it was a little breezy on the deck.  Guess you get the idea, anyway. Now back to machine quilting – I am hoping to have my...

No, I didn’t fussy cut the maroon one with the dots, it just happen to come out that way! Cool,...

It’s time for the mid-month reminders: If you made Boomer blocks LAST month and haven’t yet mailed them … please do so ASAP. If you have made and posted Oak Leaf blocks, make sure they are accounted for correctly on the at-a-glance page and let me know if I’ve made a mistake. If you plan to make Oak Leaf blocks for the block lotto this month and want to qualify for the sneak peek, you have a little over a week to do so....

Here’s my first oak leaf.  I’m entering it in the drawing.  Hope to make more.  I joined block lotto because I like to try different blocks.  I have not been disappointed.  This one is simple, uses few pieces and is striking.  Thanks,...

Here’s seven more Oak Leaves for a total of eight blocks this month....

Here’s my first Oak Leaf for this month.  Hopefully eight more will follow!  Love this block!...

  I’ve made my 9 leaves. My “design wall” ( my cutting board propped against wall with leftover piece of batting wrapped on it) only holds 6 at a time so had to do two pictures.  I usually don’t care much for leaf blocks but these were fun to make and I love how they...

Autumn weather arrived this week in northern California — refreshing! Here are 5 oak leaves to start with. Julie...

Here are nine blocks for this month. They were fun to...
